Closer To Heaven Lyrics - The Alan Parsons Project

Rising and falling, lighter than air 

Silently calling, no one is there 

Oh, bird that is flying, so high and so free 

Closer to Heaven, than you and me 

Voices of strangers, keep me from sleep 

Guardian angels, watch over the deep 

A ship that is sailing, way out to the sea 

Closer to Heaven, than you and me 

Visions of rain fall out of blue skies 

Rivers of tears fall out of dry eyes 

Answer my question, tell me no lies 

Is this the real world or a fool's paradise? 

Wind that is blowing, so wild and so free 

Closer to Heaven, than you and me 

Closer to Heaven, longing to be 

Closer to Heaven, than you and me 

Visions of rain fall out of blue skies 

Rivers of tears fall out of dry eyes 

Answer my question, tell me no lies 

Is this the real world or a fool's paradise? 

Love that lies sleeping, wakes in the night 

Secrets for keeping that won't see the light 

I look to the future and I hope it will be 

Closer to Heaven, than you and me 

Closer to Heaven, longing to be 

Closer to Heaven, than you and me 

Closer to Heaven, than you and me
